cool new tool

[Vince Jesse]

The Metropolitan reamer project got bogged down but there's one more option: You CAN get a 1/17 taper commercially made boxwood bushing. It's marketed by the **** company and it's actually sized as a cello endpin bushing. International Violin sells those as well as larger 1/17 bass endpin bushings.(which are really handy) They may be a little big for a typical bass scroll repair but they would probably be good for patching an oversized hole from a hatpeg tuner spindle.
